Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.
At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where analysts may be overlooking some important risks.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Target Hospitality (TH)
Consensus Price Target: $22.75 (43.9% implied return)
Building mini-communities at places such as oil drilling sites, Target Hospitality (NASDAQ:TH) is a provider of specialty workforce lodging accommodations and services.
Why Are We Bearish on TH?
- Performance surrounding its utilized beds has lagged its peers
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
- Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
At $15.81 per share, Target Hospitality trades at 913.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TH doesn’t pass our bar.
Dave & Buster's (PLAY)
Consensus Price Target: $18.88 (63.1% implied return)
Founded by a former game parlor and bar operator, Dave & Buster’s (NASDAQ:PLAY) operates a chain of arcades providing immersive entertainment experiences.
Why Do We Steer Clear of PLAY?
- Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations
- Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
- Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders
Dave & Buster’s stock price of $11.57 implies a valuation ratio of 8.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering PLAY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock to Watch:
Intuit (INTU)
Consensus Price Target: $454.65 (43.6% implied return)
Originally named after its founding product "Intuitive for the first-time user," Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU) provides financial management software and services including TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp to help consumers and small businesses manage their finances.
Why Do We Like INTU?
- Software platform has product-market fit given the rapid recovery of its customer acquisition costs
- Healthy operating margin of 27.5% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
- Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends
Intuit is trading at $316.60 per share, or 3.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
